Chapter 1

I turn fantasy into reality. I'm Gremmy, "The Visionary."

I think you're lucky to get to fight me, because I think I'm the strongest Stern Ritter.

Is that right?

I'll say it again. I can turn fantasy into reality. The power of imagination is the most powerful thing in this world. See what I just did?

By merely imagining my body being much harder than steel...

C'mon now. You could've told me you were as hard as steel. Then I would've cut you as if I was cutting steel.

............

What's with the face? You imagined that I wouldn't be able to cut you?

Let me tell you something. Your imagination can't create anything I can't cut.

Because I'm Kenpachi!

You can heal your own wounds?

I can? Maybe. If you call this healing, then maybe I am healing.

All I did was imagine that my wounds were already healed.

Your type can't understand my power until you lose. So...

...come at me, Kenpachi Zaraki. I'm not even going to say I'll take you on with just one finger.

I won't even use my fingers. I'll kill you using only what's in my head.

What do you think this is? It's lava.

I can see that.

Then where did it come from? From inside my head!

That is crazy, but I actually don't mind the illogical!

............

What're you doing, Yachiru?! Get outta here!

Don't be so hard on her. Her bones have turned into cookie from my ability.

If she tries to move, her bones will shatter and she'll die.

What's a cookie?

You don't know? Maybe I should've chosen rakugan instead.

Rakugan, huh? So she's brittle like Japanese teacakes? You should've just said so from the beginning.

Stop beating around the bush!

Huh?!

Incomprehensible, right? The air you jumped up into was already underwater.

After hesitating for a moment underwater, you will fall into the crack in the ground I prepared. And then...

I know you won't die from being crushed, Kenpachi Zaraki. But what if you were also enclosed in water?

Everybody eventually dies if they can't breathe. You may be some kind of monster, but one hour should be enough, no?

If she's fine being held by me, it must mean her bones are back to normal.

You were so caught up fighting me that you couldn't use your brain for Yachiru?

Ken.

Yeah? I still feel Isane's Spiritual Pressure. She should still be alive. Go down and get your arm healed.

Okay!

I'm surprised you noticed.

Noticed what?

That my imagination for her had been interrupted.

Of course. No way you could keep it going.

What is it that you want to do with me? You wanna fight, don't you?

Fight?

What did you call yourself? Aren't you the strongest Quincy? If you're the strongest, wouldn't you want to crush the strongest?

C'mon! Let's start the fight!

If you're distracted by something other than the enemy in front of you, you wouldn't call that a real fight, now would you?!
